WxHaskell/Download

Download

You can download either a source or binary distribution. The documentation and samples are normally included in binary distributions. After installation, you should try some of the samples to see if everything works as expected:

> cd samples/wx
> ghc -package wx -o helloworld HelloWorld.hs
> ./helloworld

You can also use GHCi – a great development environment for GUI's! (Unfortunately, GHCi only works well on Windows platforms at the moment)

> ghci -package wx HelloWorld.hs
*Main> main

See the documentation for more information about wxHaskell.

The installer copies the wxHaskell libraries to /usr/local/wxhaskell and registers them with ghc. To test the installation, you can run the following commands from the samples/wx directory:

> ghc -package wx HelloWorld.hs -o hello
> /usr/local/wxhaskell/bin/macosx-app -v hello
> open hello

It is recommended to read the notes on using wxHaskell with MacOS X.
